Chapter 655: The Lord of Le'an County

"Ju Guogong, why are you here?" Li Xiu saw Tang Jian leading people to come, and he was also very surprised to greet him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Haha~, I'm here to say hello to the colt!" I saw that Tang Jian laughed loudly at this time, and pointed behind him when he spoke, but Li Xiu found out that there was a convoy behind Tang Jian, and the big boxes and small boxes were piled up together, and he didn't know what he was pulling?

This is not the place to speak, Li Xiu hurriedly invited Tang Jian into the living room, and when the tea was served, he saw that Tang Jian immediately took out a holy decree from his sleeve and said: "Please look at the horse, this is Your Majesty's reward for you, I happened to be in the palace at the time, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to send it to you!" ”

This time, all the generals and officials involved in the destruction of the Turks and captured Jieli alive have made great contributions, and Li Xiu is naturally no exception, so when he saw the holy decree sent by Tang Jian, he immediately understood what was going on, and immediately opened the holy decree and took a look, and found that although there were many rewards on the holy decree, most of them were some property and land, such as the cart outside, which was the thing that was given to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu was not surprised by these rewards, after all, at their level, the title had almost reached the top, and it was impossible for Li Shimin to give them the title of king again, so the only things that could be rewarded were land and property, but one of the rewards was somewhat unexpected by Li Xiu.

"Lord Le'an? Your Majesty...... Your Majesty actually made my daughter the county lord? Li Xiu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw the reward for his daughter in the holy decree, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin not only canonized his son before, but even his own daughter was also named the county lord this time, you must know that this is the treatment of the prince's daughter.

"Haha~, Your Majesty was also worried about rewarding you for your merits before, after all, your title cannot be improved again, so I can only think from other aspects, just before you left Chang'an, your wife was already pregnant, and you couldn't even stay by your wife's side when your daughter was born, so Your Majesty also felt a little guilty about you, so this gave Ling Ai a county lord, which can be regarded as Your Majesty's compensation for you and Ling Ai!" Tang Jian also laughed at this time, and after speaking, his face also showed a look of envy, I am afraid that only Li Xiu has such treatment in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Li Xiu was also overjoyed when he heard this, after all, as a parent, he naturally hopes to create better conditions for his children, and now that his daughter has just been born, he has already received the title of a county lord, which is something that no one else can ask for.

Li Xiu didn't care about those possessions and land, but this title for his daughter was too much to his liking, it was rare for Tang Jian to come to send the holy decree in person, and Li Xiu immediately asked people to prepare a banquet to entertain each other, and Tang Jian also laughed when he heard this, he had not rubbed Li Xiu's food before, and at that time, because of the lack of ingredients, the taste of the food must have been worse, and now that he has returned to Chang'an, he has long wanted to come to Li Xiu's house to taste the real deliciousness.

"Ju Guogong, you have also made a great contribution to capturing Jieli alive this time, I don't know what reward Your Majesty has for you?" At the banquet, Li Xiu asked very curiously at this time, although Tang Jian was cheated by Li Jing, but the credit was real, and he suffered so much grievance, Li Shimin must also compensate him well.

"Haha, it's actually nothing, it's just that His Majesty intends to let me serve as the head of the household department, but you also know my temperament, I'm afraid that even if I do the book, it won't be long before I am removed!" Tang Jian laughed freely at this time, for others, the head of the household is a position that cannot be sought, but for him, it is a big burden.

"Since Ju Guogong has no intention of pursuing a career, he simply resigned from the beginning so as not to bring trouble to himself!" Li Xiu couldn't help but persuade when he heard Tang Jian's words, Tang Jian's temperament is very similar to him, he doesn't care about official positions at all, and he is a person who is addicted to alcohol, maybe when he will make a mistake because of drinking, Tang Jian seems to be demoted because of this reason in the future, so it is better to refuse now.

"It doesn't matter, although I don't like to be an official, but I don't like to be idle, so if Your Majesty really asks me to be the head of the household, I won't refuse, if I really can't do it, it's a big deal to be demoted in the future, and I won't die anyway!" Tang Jian heard Li Xiu's words, but he didn't care.

He didn't say that Li Xiu almost forgot, Tang Jian was rewarded by Li Shimin with "one death-free", that is, the "death-free gold medal" in later folklore, in other words, as long as Tang Jian did not rebel, no matter what he did, he didn't have to worry about his life, of course, there were many people in history who had death-free gold medals, but most of them did not end well, in contrast, Tang Jian was able to get a good death, which is much better than others.

Seeing that Tang Jian had already thought clearly, Li Xiu did not persuade him again, and persuaded the other party to drink with tea instead of wine, Tang Jian was originally an alcoholic, and the wine in Li Xiu's house was also quite good, in fact, with the increase in grain production in recent years, Li Xiu also secretly made a still at home, and usually produced some distilled liquor, mainly for friends such as Ma Ye and Qin Qiong to drink in private, and the taste was no worse than Li Shimin's imperial wine, so Tang Jian was also a cup after cup, and finally returned drunk.

After sending the drunk Tang Jian into the carriage and leaving, Li Xiu immediately returned to the inner house with the holy decree, intending to let Yi Niang see his daughter's title, but he didn't expect Qi Niang and Ha Er to be here, and they were playing with Yi Niang teasing the little guy.

"Big brother, have you thought of my niece's name?" Seeing Li Xiu come in, Qi Niang immediately shouted loudly, she had been waiting impatiently, after all, she was playing with her niece every day, but she couldn't even name her, which was really inconvenient.

"It's almost there, but the name is not in a hurry, my daughter's title is there!" At this time, Li Xiu smiled and raised the holy decree in his hand.

"Blocked? What is the ban? Yi Niang couldn't help but ask with surprise on her face when she heard Li Xiu's words.

"That's it, see for yourself!" At this time, Li Xiu handed the holy decree to Yi Niang's hand and said.

Seeing Li Xiu's happy appearance, Yi Niang was even more strange, and when she opened the holy decree, when she saw that the holy decree had sealed her daughter as the Le'an County Order, she couldn't help but be so excited that even tears were about to flow out.

"Let's see!" Qi Niang saw Yi Niang's excited appearance, and she was also very curious at the moment, so she and Ha'er got together to look at the holy decree, and finally said excitedly, "Le'an County Order!" I didn't expect my niece to become a county lord at such a young age! ”

When Li Xiu heard Qi Niang's words, he was moved, and suddenly thought of a good name for himself.
